Welcome to the TMZ Podcast. Deven here with Branson.

**Branson** (0:41)
Hey, hey.

**Deven** (0:42)
Where the hell were you?

**Branson** (0:43)
I was in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

**Deven** (0:46)
Okay, was it cold?

**Branson** (0:47)
No, it was very warm, beautiful weather. It was like 90 degrees outside.

**Deven** (0:52)
Friday was raining. You're just surrounded by wrestlers. It's like your fantasy, just being surrounded by wrestlers.

**Branson** (0:57)
Wow. I mean, I was at, so I was at SummerSlam for two days. SummerSlam, Minnesota is at the US Bank Stadium, which who plays there? What football team?

**Deven** (1:05)
That's the Vikings.

**Branson** (1:06)
The Vikings. Beautiful stadium, beautiful city.

**Deven** (1:11)
By the way, I don't want to like, I don't really have a lot of time in the mornings, but something crossed my Instagram feed this morning. Did you have to do an apology video today? What the hell was that?

**Branson** (1:22)
Let's just say I had to address the masses.

**Deven** (1:24)
Really?

**Branson** (1:24)
I had to address the masses.

**Deven** (1:26)
These guys turned it in to a fricking wrestler.

**Branson** (1:27)
I had to let them know that I was sorry. And if you saw this clip on TMZ's Instagram, I basically told Lyra Bacuria that she needed some well-deserved attention, medically, speaking for her mind.

**Deven** (1:40)
Jeez. She's not doing well. So, oh, got it. So, you're canceled. All right, glad we have you on the podcast.

**Branson** (1:47)
I have threats in my DMs.

**Deven** (1:48)
Okay, great. So, we will get to the stories. Enough about your wrestling escapades.
So, a couple of massive stars are not going to be touring or going away. So, both for different reasons, and we will talk about those two. Then there's been a lot of drama with the guys over at Slipknot. So, Sid Wilson, we broke the story last week. He's been a founding member, people who don't know Slipknot, those metal guys that have all the crazy masks.

**Branson** (2:16)
Yeah.

**Deven** (2:17)
They were big when I was in middle school. I think they're still big, but maybe it was just in middle school, high school, people were super into Slipknot.

**Branson** (2:24)
Is this the 2000s band?

**Deven** (2:26)
Oh yeah, they've been around for 30 years, bro.

**Branson** (2:28)
You were the epitome of the 2000s. I don't know what the hell that means. Which means you probably went to high school, what, 2004, 2005?

**Deven** (2:35)
No, I think I, well no, I was in high school, I think I started in, what, 2006? Because I graduated in 2010

**Branson** (2:41)
2006, high school. And then, damn, 2006 to 2010, man, that sounds like a great time to go to high school.

**Deven** (2:48)
I mean, it was cool. Do you imagine it like it's one of those movies where, yeah, it's like sky high or like, yeah, it's like, it was probably not like that. But yeah, so anyways, we got super off topic, but Kelly, he was fired from the band, which was the story that we broke last Friday. And then Kelly Osbourne fired off some cryptic Instagram posts yesterday, didn't name him, but seems she's talking about him. And Kelly Osbourne is Sid's ex-girlfriend, ex-fiance, I guess, because they broke off the engagement. So yeah, we'll get into all that.
So Jelly Roll, that's the first big star that apparently is not going to tour for two years, which is kind of shocking. Two years? Yes.
He said he was stepping away from touring after completing his current schedule of shows. He said this during a recent concert that he has his final schedule performance coming up. He's been on this tour with Post Malone and it will be his last for a year or two, basically he needs time to heal. He didn't explain exactly what he needs to heal from. But I mean, the probably pretty thing that he's been in the news for is this big divorce with BunnyXO. So I don't know if he's healing from that. I don't know if he has other personal things going on in his personal life. I think it's just shocking for me because I feel like Jelly Roll is bigger than ever. Not like in weight. He's obviously lost a lot of weight, but as far as like a star, he's at the WWE, he's at the Grammys, everyone loves him, he's losing all this weight and it's just kind of an odd time to me to then like, you finally made it after all these years to now take a break.
